Franco of Castrojeriz

Franco of Castrojeriz was a knight of Leon during the Reconquista. Born in Castrojeriz, Franco was renowned for his abilities in combat, and he was one of the knights that took part in the 1066 raid into the Moorish lands south of the Duero River. This led to the Battle of Milagros, in which Franco once again distinguished himself as a brave and able warrior, slaying fifteen Moorish knights in combat.
